Modicon Momentum PLC
The small footprint and open architecture of the Modicon Momentum PLC product line make it extremely versatile for a variety of Unity™ Pro automation applications. Modicon Momentum PLC options and accessories include: I/O bases, processor adapters, option adapters and communication adapters that are interchangeable and snap together to deliver optimal flexibility throughout the control system life cycle.

The Modicon Momentum PLC offers:

  • IP 20 Monoblock I/O bases which provide the foundation for the rest of the Modicon Momentum control system and serve as the mounting base for communication adapters and processors. Over 30 I/O module types available: Analogue, Discrete, Multi-function, etc.
  • Processor Adapters:
    • Operate with a single local I/O module or in systems with up to 32 I/O modules
    • Built-in communication ports including, Ethernet Modbus™ TCP/IP or Modbus RS232/RS485 serial communication, USB and IO Bus
    • Perform functions including data acquisition, peer-to-peer communication, and I/O scanning. Embedded web pages enable the use of a standard web browser to read status and diagnostic information from the processor.
  • Communication Adapters snap into any of the I/O modules and include Modbus TCP/IP, Modbus™ Plus, FIPIO™, INTERBUS™, and PROFIBUS® DP.
  • The Modicon Momentum PLC also offers selected I/O bases, processors, and communication modules with conformal coating – ideal for applications with harsh or humid environments that require a small footprint.

Micromaster Frequency Inverter for Drive Technology

Joe Kaminski Leave a comment

Siemens Micromaster Frequency Inverter drives are used everywhere in the manufacturing and process industry. Specifically, they are used for outputs ranging from 0.12 kW to 250 kW in the manufacturing industry, and normally in applications ranging from pumps to extruders to winding machine to conveyor systems.

The Micromaster series has a compact design which allows it to work perfectly for cabinet mounting and integration into the design of both stand-alone and series machines. They enable maximum utilization of the available mounting surface, from small outputs to large outputs, with a wide range of supply voltages. This is the reason that the Micromaster drives cover a wide field of applications. The options concept also opens up additional possibilities for customization of each drive. Different communication module allow for use in common network applications, plain text panels simplify operation, and additional base components such as reactors complement the compact solution.

The Micromaster series is made up of three groups that each have unique strengths. The Micromaster 420 drives are universal usage, the Micromaster 430 drives are specialized for pumps and fans, and the Micromaster 440 drives all all around workhorses.

Highlights of the entire MICROMASTER family
Mechanical components
■Compact, standardized drilling template
